Pumpkin Spice

• Yayoi Kusama’s Pumpkin is one of her many paintings and sculptures of the fruit. Take a look at this mirrored pumpkin and large pumpkin sculpture. Kusama roots her work in repetition and obsession. As a child, she had hallucinations of her surroundings covered in patterns like dots, nets, and flowers. She obsessively repeats these patterns in her work, revealing the strangeness of the natural world.
